Talking Put her to the test...

me and my buddies are selling fire wood for the winter and we ran out of cut up logs so we decided to drop a deadstaning tree on the edge of a hill. The tree was about 4ft in diameter and i only had a farmboss with a 20" bar. So i had to cut a notch from each side just to make one big one. So it fell down liek a twenty foot hill and it shook the ground when it fell. So now we had to figure out how to get it up the hill. So me and my buddy hooked them up to it. He has and 08 cc and i had my 97. He was on pavement and that stupid from coil kept hopping so he wasnt doing to much, but we pulled like he!! and it didnt move. We had to cut it and half and do it twice. Was it kool though using them both and what there made for. When we got it up the hill it was bigger than my truck and 4 ft round. I wish i had a video camera around when it happened.

Since there's no smilie I'll just have to type it:

THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS!!!

And if you're going to be dropping large trees like that, do yourself a favor and get something bigger, like an 044, 046, or if you're really ambitious, an 066.

Tell me about it, I've been trying to score a deal on an 044 or an 046 for months now. I almost had a nice, lightly used 044 with 28" bar on Ebay, got out bid by... are you prepared for this... $0.28! I was, and still am, mad as he!! about that.
